Forums - Gaming - Rumor: Mario Kart and Splatoon On The Switch Are Remasters!

Wouldn't surprise me. Releasing remasters of Wii U titles to flesh out the initial Switch library/give those games some more sales makes too much sense.

Definitely! Its also smart for the consumers to buy them. Rebuy those games for all the DLC, better graphics, and more features (BATTLE MODE PLEASE).

They're not remasters. They're still 720p. Same as Wii U. Can you really say a game is remastered to 720p when it was 720p in the first place? I'd consider them to be remixes instead of remasters.

Oh and these expansions should work on Wii U too.

how do you know the games are running at 720p?

He is referring to the 720p resolution of the screen on the console.

Because it is using a 720p screen. But you're right. They could be 540p and upresolutioned to 720p.



A MK8 1.5 until a proper version? I'm ok with that.
MK8 was an amazing game and desserves to played by more people!

I think you're a little confused my friend, the screen on the switch is 720p, but the internal/native resolution of the game could be 1080p and run at 1080p on the tv. Just like smash runs at 1080p on the tv and 480p on the gamepad. Now let me ask you, two games that run at 60fps and 720p on the wii u, why would they run like that on the switch when the switch is a lot more powerful than the wiiu? I know that you're being negative and all that but sometimes logic is the answer.

Eh, that depends on what kind of content and enhancements they've added, and the price. I'm personally not too keen on rebuying these games at full price if all I get is some better textures and a few new maps/courses. Unless it's Zelda, of course!

But its not running both screens at the same time. Unless it has a legit TV mode (which is not confirmed. Nintendo said the dock is a TV out and charger) It would be easier for Nintendo to go with the same resolution across both. I doubt Nintendo is dynamically doing this and I doubt that its running the game at 1080p. It might be a drain on the battery.

Where was 720p confirmed?
